I've used the airhawk (large) on a Silverwing, it actually works pretty well. The trick is not to inflate it too much, the idea is to take pressure off the bony parts of your pelvis. I don't use it on the C650 as I am already a bit inseam challenged on it and it does make you sit a bit higher.

If I were to consider another scoot, I would look at a Vespa. Folks LOVE those things. Even though it's Italian, everything I read says they are well designed and built. The rational for that would be to go with something a bit smaller and easier to handle as the C650 is a porker with a tall...

Two happiest days I guess... I do agree about riding what you like, life is too short. I kept the R12 for about a year and change, put about 4k on it before I decided I needed something easier to ride. The K bike I think this guy is referring to is one of the big touring bikes. Those are...

I havent owned a K bike, so all that I know about them is from reading online, although I did sit on a used K12GT at a dealer. ;) The 4 cyl engine is buried in the tupperware vs the boxer which is pretty much out in the open. Running gear is similar between the two. HP out of the K12 is...

Welcome aboard. This bike is discontinued, so I would imagine parts will be less available and probably more expensive. It's a BMW after all. Aftermarket parts for this bike are also hard to find, so things like hugger fenders or grab bars are things I havent ever seen. I do have an...

I don't have a seat to trade, so be my guest.

Those things actually look like they are part of the valve covers. Those covers are normally silver like the rest of the engine. I was wondering why the jugs on your bike were black. Thats probably way too high to want to park your feet. The Ilium pegs are below the jugs and have some...

One other thought. Whether you are in your car on on the bike, if you are doing a long trip, stop and get out and stretch your legs every hour. Yeah, you won't make as good time, but you bladder and the rest of the body will appreciate it.

Bummer. Is there any way to mod the bike/pegs so they get your legs out farther? Maybe post a pic or two. Doesn't have to be pretty but just functional, esp if you are going to sell the bike anyway. This is a set of highway pegs from Illium works. Not cheap but they make nice stuff and it...

What are you asking for the seat? Any pictures?

This is with the corbin low seat and the floorboards: This is how big the large BMW top box is. And if you get a wild hair and decide to look at the K bikes, just be aware that even the K12 and K13gt's can probably hit 150 and are quite the ride. I would avoid the big K12 touring bikes...

Wow. Congrats on the bike. I hand a 2009 RT that I sold in order to get the C650. It was a great bike for the open road and I loved riding it, but I was a bit inseam challenged with it, even with a couple of different low seats on it. Maintenance on them is very straightforward, valve...

From what I understand, the 2016 and up models had a reworked variator just to increase pickup over the earlier years. I havent heard of too many folks modding it but Im sure someone will chime in if they did. Personally I think its pretty good for what it is, a 550 lb bike with 40 something...

Are you talking about the front forks leaking oil? A week for service doesnt seem too bad at the start of the summer season. It is a BMW after all so parts are expensive and everybody wants their bike on the road. There is no oil in the braking system so I'm guessing you are talking about...

The one I linked to fit an R1200RT with the larger topcase on the back. It fit the Silverwing as well. I think they end up all being about the same size. If you dont have a topcase on your scoot, then it would sit lower down but would probably still fit. If you order it off Amazon, you could...

I have a half cover that I originally bought for my Can Am Spyder (3 wheeler) that just covers the top half of that bike. But I have used that same cover for several 2 wheelers including my Silverwing, the BMW R12RT and this bike as well. It covers the windscreen and bars all the way back to...

It's a pretty bike, but I'm biased. Have you sold the other one yet?

Did I miss the pics of the new bike?

So Mercedes beat out BMW. Nice.

Beach location means salt and that doesnt help. Battery voltage is probably low. Dealer can run the vin and see when it was put into service. Bike should have 3 years on it which could take it into 2022 depending on when it was sold. My guess is some type of corrosion, maybe on one of the...
